You are too young to make this kind of decision. It sounds like he got you on the rebound, as the saying goes. Give this time. Your parents could be right. One rule in life: If you are romantically involved with someone that either your closest friends or your family distrusts...at least 90% of the time, they turn out to be right. Another rule: Never rush into any major decision if you can help it. Time can bring much wisdom. If he is right for you, he will not rush you into anything for any reason. If he is worth it, eventually your parents will see that.

@Stars I'm not worried about him forcing you into anything; you haven't told me is forcing you. I was worried that he might be rushing you, which is a very bad sign. I am glad that is not so. I am also glad to know you perceive him as honest and forthright, but time will tell if this is really as you see it. If he is a decent guy, and your parents are basically reasonable people, they will come around. Don't argue with them or try too hard to convince them he is OK. Just let them see how he behaves over time with you. If that doesn't seem to make them aware of who he is, consider paying a few dollars to a good detective agency to do a background check on him. Yes, at some point, if your relationship continues to flourish, you may have to choose between him and your parents, but you have some time before it comes to that. My guess is that if he is really honest and decent, they will eventually see it. For now, I'd wait it out.
